    Exclamation creating a drop-down to populate a drop-down which thens populates another drop-down

    Hey Guys,

    I'm trying to create 3 drop-downs that all links to each other.
    please see my sample example. So what you choose in drop1 will show a list in drop2 then after choosing in drop2 it populates drop3. Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Just so happens I ran across an answer to your question while searching for an answer to mine. I've never done what you're trying to do, but there's a pretty easy to follow post over at Excel Blog. Here's the link:

    you need to be a little more specific in what you need in each drop down
    is 1st drop down countries and is the name across from cities and countries only to show up for a paticular city

    OK I got it but what if I wanted more than one city after choosing America
    so something like this America>>New york, Miami, Chicago, Dallas,...etc>>Mary, John, Phil, Marc,...etc.
    Thanks hope this is not too much to ask.
